Eat

Le restaurant Fès à Midelt, run by Driss, in the middle of town, is a good, if not very cheap option. But very nice food indeed and a great owner.

The food in the hotel Ayachi restaurant is not that bad either, especially the apple-pie is quite good. Remember that Midelt is in the middle of the apple-producing region of Morocco!

Drink

Not many options for a wild night out, but there are some hotel-bars, f.i. in the hotel Ayachi.
